Hello everyone,

fresh from the postal office. Was dug up in South africa. Another interesting item of history. Of course its broken way beyond any repair but features an interesting unit marking nonetheless.

With kind regards

Interesting! South West Africa Schutztruppe?

Yes. The stock is from a Schutztruppengewehr 98, one can still see the cut out for the turned down bolt handle.
The unit marking reads as Kaiserliche Schutztruppe, weapon no. 2537 and this indicates Deutsch-Süd-West-Afrika.

With kind regards
